Already at the reception,... - Already at the reception, the staff was charming, very professional and gave a good and smiling feeling. The messages were short, to the point and with humor. It seems that the dynamics between the staff members are very good, which gave us the guests a good experience. Even in the water, explanations were given by the expert Hadar. The lunch was wonderful and satisfying, especially for a vegetarian like me. Highly recommend everything. It was a unique and unforgettable day.

Silver sonic full day Reef Cruise - An Unforgettable Day on the Reef! We had an incredible day visiting three different reef sites—each one offering vibrant coral and a huge variety of marine life. The snorkeling was outstanding, with crystal-clear visibility and plenty of fish to see. What really made the day special was the crew: so helpful, friendly, and professional. The marine biologist on board was a standout—super knowledgeable and passionate, and made the whole experience even more educational and enjoyable. Highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to experience the Great Barrier Reef at its best!

Day dive trip from Cairns - I took the provided bus up from Cairns, did three guided dives, and had a wonderful time! I have done it before and I will do it again! The crew is always charming and professional. My dive master, Lilly, was my dive buddy and could not have been better at either of those tasks. I saw things I've had never seen before, and I've been diving for many years now. I highly recommend it!

A fantastic reef day! - We thoroughly enjoyed our day at the reef on Silversonic! All the staff were fantastic, the food, equipment and service excellent and the reef itself with abundance of fish completely beautiful. Gordon went out of his way to look after us and brought a great sense of humour to the experience.

Best Company for Great Barrier Snorkeling and Scuba!! - The most professional company we have been with for Scuba and Snorkeling experience. ALL the staff were friendly, good humoured, informative and catered for all levels of diving/snorkeling. The food was excellent, as were refreshments. One of our party was sea sick and the staff couldn't have been more helpful/kind. Even the skipper came out and was good humoured. The staff worked really hard throughout the experience....ship was clean too!! Honestly, you won't be disappointed if you use this company for one of THE experiences of a lifetime!! This is an honest review and happy to give them 5/5

Professional, respectful and fun dive trip - What a day! Gordon, our divemaster, was fun and engaging, greeting everyone warmly with sincerity, immediately making everyone feel comfortable. Gordon did not treat us like muppets, but afforded us courtesy and space to explore underwater without being overprotective. That said, he was watchful and vigilant, keeping the group cohesive and safe, making sure our kit was in order and functioning as it should. Perfect balance. All the crew were warm, friendly, fun and extremely helpful. Best of all, they were respectful and engaging. Thanks for a perfect dive trip. See you again next year.

Flash Gordon! - The ONLY way to see the reef is with Quicksilver on the Silversonic. Authentic crew, amazing dive masters (especially Flash Gordon) and Sharky our legendary skipper will get you there and home in one piece. Do it right, Do it with Quicksilver!
